The pert, attractive, young Mathis is a third-generation performer (granddaughter of Austrian actress Gusti Huber, daughter of actress Bibi Besch). The New York and L.A.-raised teen got her first role–as an Amish girl–in the short-lived TV series “Aaron’s Way” (NBC, 1988). She continued to work in TV sporadically, her contributions consisting of the crime series “Knightwatch” (ABC, 1988-89) and supporting roles in the TV-movies “American Nuclear” (as James Farentino’s daughter, CBS, 1989), “Cold Sassy Tree” (TNT, 1989), and three 1990 movies, “Extreme Close-Up” (NBC), “82 Hours ‘Til Dawn” (CBS) and “To My Daughter” (NBC).

In 1996, Heather Matarazzo delivered one of the year’s most striking film performances as the plain, bespectacled junior high student Dawn Weiner in “Welcome to the Dollhouse”. Only eleven years old when the film was shot, the Long Island native offered a compelling and touching performance of a misunderstood middle child, battered by the taunts of classmates (who call her ‘Weinerdog’) and the particular attentions of one boy (Brendon Sexton III) who demonstrates his affection with threats of rape. Despite subject matter that was at times painful to watch, the young actress never flagged, holding the audience’s sympathies even while displaying sibling rivalry. Like indie stalwart Lili Taylor, Matarazzo was willing to downplay her own unusual looks for the sake of the character.

A versatile and pretty theater veteran with a distinctive voice and delicate features, Mary-Louise Parker was a well-traveled “army brat” who began her stage career in New York City during the mid-1980s. She earned a 1990 Tony nomination for her performance as a young bride who accidentally swaps souls with an old man in Craig Lucas’ “Prelude to a Kiss” and later picked up an OBIE for her riveting portrayal of a victim of child abuse in Paula Vogel’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “How I Learned to Drive” (1997). In between, she essayed roles as diverse as a woman driven to madness by the birth of a deformed child in “Babylon Gardens” (1991), a schemingly ambitious actress in the black comedy “Four Dogs and a Bone” (1993) and the vocally-challenged saloon singer Cherie in a 1996 revival of “Bus Stop”, opposite Billy Crudup. In 1998, Parker won critical kudos as a Cockney dominatrix who overhears a dying man’s confession and attempts to save his victims by traveling back in time in Alan Ayckbourn’s razor-sharp comedy “Communicating Doors”. The actress’ next stage appearance saw her offer an acclaimed turn (which netted her a Tony Award) as a mathematician coping with the legacy of her father in the Pulitzer-winning “Proof.”

A dark-haired performer who has made a her name in the industry with an original take on high-concept comedic stage productions as well as notable TV and film acting skills, Mary Lynn Rajskub proved a versatile and dynamic player. Appearing in extensive productions on stage in California, Rajskub started out as a San Francisco Art Institute student who found her comic side in performance pieces that played upon her skewed sense of humor and knack for bringing out the laughs in uncomfortable situations. Noticed by comedians Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, Rajskub was cast on their HBO concept comedy sketch series “Mr. Show with Bob and David” in 1995 and remained with the program until 1996 when she switched to the network’s “The Larry Sanders Show”, replacing friend Janeane Garofalo’s character as the show within a show’s new eager to please and often inappropriate booker.

Possessing porcelain skin, long dark curls and classical, yet exotic, features, Julianna Margulies shot to stardom as the capable yet caring head nurse Carol Hathaway on the hit NBC medical series “ER”. Her character was supposed to be killed off by a drug overdose in the 1994 pilot episode but the actress had proven so likable she won not only a permanent spot on the show but also a 1995 Best Supporting Actress Emmy. Margulies remained with the show through the 1999-2000 season while Hathaway not only faced professional challenges as well as personal ones (broken romances, giving birth to twins). The actress turned down a contract valued at a reported $27 million to extend her stay on the hit series, choosing instead to seek different and challenging roles.

Cindy Margolis (born Cynthia D. Margolis on October 1, 1965) is a glamour and spokesmodel.

Margolis was born in Los Angeles, California. She started her modeling career on her own. While attending college at California State University, Northridge, she had a project in business class that dealt with greeting cards.

This attractive, dark-haired, stage-trained player of film and TV made her feature debut in “Miller’s Crossing” (1990), Joel and Ethan Coen’s stylish take on the gangster genre. Marcia Gay Harden scored with her sultry, husky-voiced portrayal of Verna whom she described as “a gun-toting, cigarette-smoking, poker-faced moll.”

One of five children born to a US Naval captain and his homemaker wife, Harden spent a peripatetic childhood, in which “I changed my identity all the time”, even pretending to be a boy for a time while living in Japan. Intending to enter diplomatic service, Harden changed her plans while attending college in Greece. After a stint at the University of Maryland, she eventually graduated from the University of Texas where she was directed by Edward Dmytryk in a film school production. After some success in regional theater in Washington, DC, Harden moved to Manhattan and joined the ranks of every other struggling actress, taking waitressing jobs and auditioning without much success. It perhaps didn’t help when a casting agent informed Harden that her “flaring-nostril look” would preclude her from ever being hired. Ignoring the rude comments, Harden enrolled in the graduate program at NYU. She went on to star in the short film “Florence” (1990), director Rebecca Miller’s portrait of an empathetic woman who develops amnesia just like her neighbor. That same year, she made her feature debut as Verna in “Miller’s Crossing”, although it took a while before her career kicked into gear.

A delicate young English model turned actress of partially Chinese and Spanish descent, the slightly exotic-looking Jane March provided a quietly stunning star turn as the Young Girl in director Jean-Jacques Annaud’s adaptation of Marguerite Duras’ sensual autobiographical novel “The Lover” (1992). Starring opposite Bruce Willis in the “Color of Night” (1994), she played a flaky aspiring actress who has several steamy nude scenes with Willis. While March garnered favorable reviews, the film itself was not so warmly received. March continued to act in forgettable features before landing the plum assignment of playing Jane to Casper Van Dien’s Lord of the Jungle in “Tarzan and the Lost City” (1998).
